Clear Backblast

Clear Backblast! is a reddit based group that plays the Arma series.

We aim for a realism-based playstyle, albeit one that sidesteps all the fixed hierarchy and ranks that are prevalent in the Arma community.

We strive to be an open and approachable community and fun takes priority in all of our games, whether they’re our realism-focused Saturday missions or relaxed and impromptu manshoots.

Saturday Missions

Our primary event of the week takes place almost every Saturday at 2100 GMT. While this may not be convenient for everyone, it's the best compromise we could come up with that works for players across the US, EU and Oceania regions. Each Saturday mission should include a countdown timer that adjusts that time to your local timezone.

Usually several days prior to each mission a post will be made to the subreddit listing information about it and slots for signups. The majority of listed slots will be first come, first serve. The exceptions to this are specialty slots like pilots or player antagonists which may be selected by lottery.

Joining

There is no formal “joining” or “application” process.

To elaborate a bit more, anyone is free to jump on in take part in any weeknight sessions. For Saturday games though we'd like you to fill out a brief Google Docs questionnaire first. Besides getting a basic headcount of those who've played with us, it's a good way to determine the level of familiarity of players with the basics of Arma, ACE and ACRE and whether they may need to be put in a team with some more experienced players for their first Saturday mission or not.
